On Friday, ICE said the 30-year-old, Jamaican-born, convicted sex offender was apprehended in Barnstable, Massachusetts.
It said deportation officers apprehended the unidentified Jamaican non-citizen, who was convicted of two counts of indecent assault and battery of a person over the age of 14 in November 2023, during a nationwide law enforcement effort that netted 275 noncitizen sex offenders. The nationwide operation ran from February 5 to February 16.
“This unlawfully present Jamaican national – whose name was not released, posed a significant threat to the residents of Massachusetts,” said ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd M. Lyons. “We simply cannot allow noncitizen sex offenders to roam the streets of New England victimizing the law-abiding people of our communities.
“ERO Boston stands committed to prioritizing the safety of our public by apprehending and removing such predators,” he added.
ICE said the Jamaican national entered the United States in May 2017 in Charlotte, North Carolina, on a non-immigrant visa that permitted him to remain in the United States until April 11, 2018. ICE said he failed to leave by that date.

The court sentenced him to three years of supervised probation and dismissed the remaining charges, ICE said
It said deportation officers from ERO Boston apprehended him on February 12 in Wellfleet and took him into custody, where he will remain in ERO custody pending removal proceedings.
The immigration enforcement agency said this apprehension was part of a nationwide enforcement effort targeting noncitizens with sexual offences.

Soooooooo howTF is this ANTIGUAN NEWS
DID IT EVER SAY IT WAS SN ANTIGUAN PPORT THEY HOLD HIM WITH
SO HES A JAMAICAN WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH YOU OR PUBLISHING IT HERE
It is news, that’s why.
The nationals of this country are always in something. Time for this government to go.
The Jamaicans, DR’s and Haitians are destroying our independent country. It’s time for Antigua to be a colony of the UK again, so this mess can be cleaned up.
First of all….the sentence was a JOKE!!! And second…he should’ve been deported once found guilty!!
Criminals from around the world walking across the Southern border every day. The federal govt cutting barbed wire for them and handing them credit cards.
He has violated the conditions of his visa, not withstanding the visa violations he has committed a henious crime. Once he has served his time for the criminal actions, he should be deported from the US and put on the Immigration international database.
He should never be allowed to travel outside JA again. Of course, Antigua’s Immigration Services is broken, under GB’s administration he would be welcomed.
